A fiduciary duty arises when someone in a position of trust must act in the best interests of the beneficiary; when they act with self-interest, a breach can occur.
Common examples include self-dealing, misuse of company assets, failure to disclose conflicts, and harm to investors or stakeholders.
A fiduciary duty is a legal obligation to act loyally and in good faith for another’s benefit. When that duty is breached, a harmed party may seek damages, restitution, or injunctions.
Elements typically include existence of a fiduciary relationship, breach of duty, causation, and damages. The process may involve internal reviews, evidence gathering, negotiation, and, if necessary, litigation.
